Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched an attack on those spreading communal hatred in the name of coronavirus by saying that those doing such acts are doing betrayal.
“It’s very painful to see that some people in such a hard time are spreading hatred between Hindu and Muslim, which is against the nature. Our country can only grow when we all will work together,” he said.
Those who are trying to divide the country on the name of religion are betraying their country, he said.
